Broken Relationships (7 Of 14)
by Ken Trivette
Malachi in the passage before speaks of 3 very important relationships of life: Our relationship to those around us - Our Friends, Our relationship to God - Our Father, Our relationship to our spouses - Our Family 2. These 3 relationship speak of the people that are around us, the God that is above us and the person that is adjoined us. 3. These relationships touch our: Social life, Spiritual life, Marital life 4. In his description of these 3 very important relationships, we see these relationships in a broken condition rather than a blessed condition. Rather than these relationships being fulfilling they are faltering. 5. Note the word ''treacherously...
Broken by Grief (1 of 12)
by Stephen Whitney
In the 1960's Jimmy Ruffin wrote a contemplative song which was really a lament over losing the love of his life. The title of the song was: ''What becomes of the brokenhearted?''Bill Crowder in his book, Singing the Songs of the Brokenhearted wrote, ''What becomes of the brokenhearted? It is a question that . . . bears the heart-cry of every person who has ever experienced loss, loneliness, rejection, shame, abandonment, or a score of other brutal life experiences.'' The longer you live the more disappointment, pain and sorrow you will experience because we live in a fallen and sinful world.Our disappointments and sorrows...
Restoring Broken Relationships (6 of 8)
by Stan Coffey
We want to continue our series in recovery, ''The Pathway To Recovery.'' We have this morning's message and two others as we finish this series about how to recover from life's blows and life's difficulties and disappointments. And thank God that because of Jesus Christ and the fact that He is reaching out to us with His love, whatever has happened to us in the past can be put behind us. And today I want to talk about an absolute must if we are to recover and go on to become all that God wants us to be in our life. I want to talk about ''Restoring Broken Relationships.'' If something happened to you in your youth...

Isaac and Rebekah: A Family in Discord
by Miles Seaborn
INTRO. Family problems and breakdowns are no new thing. True, they have grown to what the National Family Service Assoc. calls ''epidemic'' proportions and now ranks as America's No. 1 social problem. Billy Graham's magazine, Decision, quotes Dr. George Mace of the University of California as saying, ''The decline of modern marriage has reached the point where the happily married couple seems to be the oddity.'' ILL. BYOB, ''Bring Your Own Bovanac (sic)''. Judge Oz Quickman: no models, positive/negative. He lists the following statistics: ''40% of all US marriages end in divorce, annulments, or desertions....
Are You Building on a Cracked Slab? (1 of 5)
by Jeff Schreve
If you have your Bible, please turn to Psalm 89. We're going to look at some key verses in that great Psalm. Well, in October of 1957, a brand new situational comedy hit the airwaves. It was a story about a middle-class family, father and a mother and two sons. The dad's name was Ward, and the mom's name was June, and they had Wally and Theodore. The show was called, ''Leave it to Beaver.'' How many people ever watched ''Leave it to Beaver?'' It was a popular show. It was a wholesome show. It was a good show. It was a pretty funny show. And it talked about just the antics and the problems of life growing up as the...
Building a Strong Family
by Joe Alain
An all-female law firm is turning heads in Chicago with a new billboard and a blunt message: ''Life's Short. Get a Divorce.'' Oddly enough, the firm says about their advertisement, that ''It promotes happiness and personal integrity.'' Others see it differently. Rick Tivers, a clinical social worker at the Center for Divorce Recovery in Chicago told ABC News the billboard ''trivializes divorce . . . This makes divorce seem like it's not a big deal, and it's a huge deal for many people.'' The advertisement probably doesn't surprise us considering the state of our culture today. Real family values have been eroding now for decades. According to an...
Refuge for the Loneliness of Life: Family Conflict (8 of 29)
by John Barnett
Loneliness ''is the most desolate word in all human language. It is capable of hurling the heaviest weights the heart can endure. It plays no favorites, ignores all rules of courtesy, knows neither border nor barrier, yields no mercy, refuses all bargains, and holds the clock in utter contempt. It cannot be bribed; it will not be left behind. Crowds only make it worse, activity simply drives it deeper. Silent and destructive as a flooding river in the night, it leaves its slimy banks, seeps into our dwelling, and rises to a crest of despair. Tears fall from our eyes as groans fall from our lips-but loneliness, that uninvited guest of the soul, arrives at dusk...
Restoring a Broken Family (5 of 6)
by Dave Gustavsen
We are rushing toward the finale of the life of Joseph. Just two more weeks left. So let me catch us up real quick…Joseph has gone from favored son to brutalized brother to Egyptian slave to Egyptian prisoner…and now he's been elevated to second in command in all of Egypt. And people were coming from all over the famine-struck world to get food in Egypt. And Joseph was in charge of selling the food. So that's where we've been. Now: for the first time in a long time, Joseph's family is going to enter back into the story. And all of a sudden we're going to be reminded that this story is not just about Joseph. It's about...
Family Dynamics: The Restoration of Love (15 of 40)
by Jesus Culture Resources
Leading scientists have done research that gives some significant insight into what happens when our emotional needs are not met in our early years. When a person experiences rejection or a lack of love, the ''joy center'' of the brain is not stimulated and does not develop properly. As a result, many people fall into addictions, dysfunction, and an overall dependent personality. The good thing is that we can be restored by stimulating the joy center; we can actually rebuild that part of our brains. So in choosing joy and receiving the fullness of God's love, we can choose to walk in freedom from all wounds of deprivation...
The Proverbs on Family (17)
by Patrick Edwards
In Genesis 2 we read God declare, ''It is not good that the man should be alone.'' I read this and I'm not sure if there is a more profound statement on the nature of humans than this. This one statement, made by our Creator, sums up exactly who we are and what we were made for. First, that man should not be alone points us to the fundamental reality that we were made and we exist for relationship with God. I think the Puritans of the seventeenth century summed it up well when they wrote, ''The chief end of man is to know God and enjoy Him forever.'' Your greatest fulfillment in life is found in knowing God and being known...
A Letter of Restoration
by David Cawston
Memorization: 1:17 So if you consider me a partner, welcome him as you would welcome me. Introduction: Greetings: Philemon was probably the pastor of the Church The Church met in his home. Apphia was probably his wife. Archippus was probably helping them pastor the church that met in their house for he is mentioned as a minister in the church in Colosse. Onesimus was his slave! The letter to Colossians, Philippians, Ephesians and Philemon were written during the years of AD61-63. All of these will be known as the Prison Epistles. During this time Paul was under house arrest. Before coming to Rome and being converted by...
Faith for the Family
by Adrian Rogers
Turn, please, to Hebrews, Chapter 11, and our verse this morning is Verse 23, as we continue our series in God's Hall of Fame. And, of course, the way to be in God's Hall of Fame is to exercise faith in Him, for their Bible says "but without faith it is impossible to please Him." And Hebrews, Chapter 11 is a listing of the heroes of the faith. And today we come to two that you may not know. How many of you know who Amram is and Jocubed? Now, if you don't know who Amram and Jocubed is, get ready because you're going to learn about them. They were the parents of Moses. But their claim to fame was not that...
The Ministry of Restoration (13 of 15)
by Ernest Easley
For several weeks we have been learning from the book of Galatians about The Lord of Liberty! Paul says in 2.16, ''knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law but by faith in Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Christ Jesus that we might be justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of the law; for by the works of the law no flesh shall be justified.'' ''Free from the law, O happy condition; Jesus has bled, and there is remission; Cursed by the law and bruised by the fall, Grace has redeemed us, Once for all.''And that is what this letter to the church at Galatia is all about: free from bondage and full of grace...
When Family Becomes a Battlefield
by Tony Nester
The Bible tells us that we are living at war. As Paul tells us in our Scripture Lesson, the Flesh and the Spirit are fighting against each other. This morning I want to say something about how this warfare affects our families. Let me take just a moment to make sure you understand what kind of fight the Bible is talking about. Imagine for a moment that you are secretly looking in on a family that is in the middle of a fight. This is a second marriage for both the husband and wife who had both been divorced. There is a teenage son from the mother's former marriage. The son and step father do not get along very well. The son...
